The source of Mother Alexandra (Diveevo) is an Orthodox place geographically connected with the location of Diveevo. When dams were built on the Wichkinze River in the early 60s, the former source was flooded, and its water and name were transferred to the current one. Until the 60s of the XX century, the source of Mother Alexandra was on the bank of the river a few meters from the current place.
To the 100th anniversary of the canonization of St. Seraphim of Sarov, repair and restoration work was carried out here, baths and a chapel were built, which in 2003 was consecrated in honor of St. Alexandra Diveevskaya. Conditions of access to natural objects change in season, so it is better to specify the route the day before.
